When different memories are intertwined and poured into a memory apartment that can never go out, the control of time can only rely on the day and night changes on the dial and outside the window. When facing the constant misalignment of familiar faces and names, it is impossible to restrain The old man, wrapped in daze, anxiety and fear, is as weak and helpless as a child.

The film tells the subjective feelings of an Alzheimer's patient in a clever way, expressing his confusion, anxiety, fear, daze and helplessness vividly. Actor Anthony Hopkins and actress Olivia Coleman's acting skills can only be described as superb acting.

Long before I watched the movie, I always felt that this would be a movie that needed to sink down to experience the story slowly and wait for the emotions to ferment. In a fixed space, some suspense was mixed into it. In just 97 minutes, the audience was put into Anthony's brain to perceive together, and an extremely wonderful story was interpreted; the director and the main creators also felt that they deliberately restrained and did not go. Deliberately provocative or tear-jerking, but through the performance of the actors and the charm of the story itself, the audience's emotions are moved little by little, and the content that the main creator expects to express can be experienced and felt by oneself; at the same time, a lot of interesting thoughts and expressions are buried in the film. Makes the entire movie viewing experience unexpectedly good.
